Psalms 36
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David the servant of the LORD. Transgression speaketh to the wicked, methinks — there is no fear of God before his eyes.
Ki te tino kaiwhakatangi. Na te pononga a Ihowa, na Rawiri. E mea ana te mahi kino a te tangata hara i roto i toku ngakau, Kahore he wehi ki te Atua i mua i ona kanohi.
2 For it flattereth him in his eyes, until his iniquity be found, and he be hated.
E whakapai ana hoki ona kanohi ake ki a ia ano, e kore e kitea tona hara, e kore e kinongia.
3 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit; he hath left off to be wise, to do good.
He kino nga kupu a tona mangai he rauhanga hoki, kua mahue i a ia te mahara, te mahi i te pai.
4 He deviseth iniquity upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil.
He mahi nanakia tana e whakaaro ai i runga i tona moenga; ehara i te pai te ara e turia ana e ia, kahore ona whakarihariha ki te kino.
5 Thy lovingkindness, O LORD, is in the heavens; Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the skies.
Kei nga rangi, e Ihowa, tau mahi tohu: tutuki noa atu tou pono ki nga kapua.
6 Thy righteousness is like the mighty mountains; Thy judgments are like the great deep; man and beast Thou preservest, O LORD.
Rite tonu tou tika ki nga maunga o te Atua; he rire nui au whakaritenga: ko koe, e Ihowa, te kaiwhakaora i te tangata, i te kararehe.
7 How precious is Thy lovingkindness, O God! and the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Thy wings.
Ano te pai o tou aroha, e te Atua: ka okioki nga tama a te tangata i raro i te taumarumarutanga iho o ou pakau.
8 They are abundantly satisfied with the fatness of Thy house; and Thou makest them drink of the river of Thy pleasures.
Ka makona ratou i nga mea momona o tou whare: ka whakainumia ano e koe ki te awa o au mea whakahari.
9 For with Thee is the fountain of life; in Thy light do we see light.
Kei a koe hoki te puna o te ora; ma tou marama ka kite ai matou i te marama.
10 O continue Thy lovingkindness unto them that know Thee; and Thy righteousness to the upright in heart.
Kia roa tou aroha ki te hunga e matau ana ki a koe, tou tika hoki ki te hunga ngakau tika.
11 Let not the foot of pride overtake me, and let not the hand of the wicked drive me away.
Kei puta mai ki ahau te waewae whakapakari; kei aia atu ahau e te ringa o te hunga hara.
12 There are the workers of iniquity fallen; they are thrust down, and are not able to rise.
Hinga iho i reira nga kaimahi i te kino: kua turakina iho, te ahei te ara ake.
